I witnessed a similar collision: car #2 (me) stopped (for a minute or so) behind car #1 in a left-turn lane, car #3 not paying attention runs into #2, pushing it into #1 (fortunately fairly gently). It's part of the reason I worry a lot more about the guy following me than I do about the one I'm following, at whatever distance.
